Abstract(in English) When the circuit is implemented on FPGA, the circuit is covered with LUT (Look-Up Table) and pack their LUTs into a logical blocks called cluster. The process is called packing. When thinking about the wiring delay between clusters, it is difficult to estimate an actual delay strictly if placement and routing of the circuit has not been done yet. Then, the delay model by whom the wiring delay between each cluster is assumed to be constant is used in packing. In this case, the delay of the circuit is decided depending on a cluster depth. In this paper, it proposes a minimum cluster depth packing algorithm for FPGA. The proposal algorithm refers an existing mapping algorithm that minimizes a LUT depth and it makes the circuit which the cluster depth is minimized through two processes "labelling" and "packing". In the comparison experiment with an existing algorithm that used the benchmark circuit, it was confirmed that a cluster depth had been reduced about 30% by the average.
